## Description

An IBusConfig provides engine configuration methods such as get and set the configure settings to configuration file.

Currently, IBusConfig supports gconf.

## Details

### struct IBusConfig

    struct IBusConfig;

An opaque data type representing an IBusConfig.

### struct IBusConfigClass

    struct IBusConfigClass {
        IBusProxyClass parent;
        /* class members */
    };

### ibus_config_new ()

    IBusConfig *        ibus_config_new                     (GDBusConnection *connection,
                                                             GCancellable *cancellable,

New an IBusConfig from existing GDBusConnection.

`connection` : | An GDBusConnection.
Returns : | An newly allocated IBusConfig corresponding to `connection`.

### ibus_config_new_async ()

    void                ibus_config_new_async               (GDBusConnection *connection,
                                                             GCancellable *cancellable,

New an IBusContext asynchronously.

`connection` : | An GDBusConnection.
`cancellable` : | A GCancellable or `NULL`.
`callback` : | A GAsyncReadyCallback to call when the request is satisfied. The callback should not be `NULL`.
`user_data` : | The data to pass to callback.

### ibus_config_new_async_finish ()

    IBusConfig *        ibus_config_new_async_finish        (GAsyncResult *res,
                                                             GError **error);

`returns`: A newly allocated IBusConfig.

Finishes an operation started with `ibus_config_new_async()`.

`res` : | A GAsyncResult obtained from the GAsyncReadyCallback pass to `ibus_config_new_async()`.
`error` : | Return location for error or `NULL`.

### ibus_config_get_value ()

    GVariant *          ibus_config_get_value               (IBusConfig *config,

Get the value of a configuration option synchronously.

GConf stores configure options in a tree-like structure, and the IBus related setting is at /desktop/ibus, thus, `section` here is a path from there, while `name` is the key of that configuration option.

ibus-chewing, for example, stores its setting in /desktop/ibus/engine/Chewing, so the section name for it is "engine/Chewing". `see_also`: ibus_config_set_value.

`config` : | An IBusConfig
`section` : | Section name of the configuration option.
`name` : | Name of the configure option.
Returns : | A GVariant or `NULL`. Free with `g_variant_unref()`.
